Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006102590A1] Gear bearings 1, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 9OA and 9OB, and 100 include gear, such as 9, and oppositely facing tapered load bearing surfaces, such as 13 and 14. These gear bearings are positioned between, such as raceways 6 and 7 or 18 and 19, with bearing gears, such as 9 and 22, meshing with raceway gears, such as 10 and 21. The tapered surfaces preferably comprise the primary load bearing surfaces, with a line contact being maintained between the gear bearings and the raceways. The gears maintain proper registration of the gear bearings to prevent gathering. The same gear bearings can be employed in either linear bearing assemblies or rotary bearing assemblies. The gear bearings can be used in applications in which the defined position of the gear bearings can be used for control and monitoring moving parts or components, and the gear bearings can be used in devices, which transmit mechanical force.
